In Reply to: Re: "...found myself in a puddle of drool". I LOVE it! How 'bout an 845-based SET? posted by heyeugenio on December 23, 2006 at 11:59:04:
...so even a 6C33C-based single-output-tube mono amp might not be an SET.
I suggest you save your money for 845- or even 805-based SETs. Buying something in between just pushes your eventual goal out further.Here's a pair of good, used AQ1006s for $2K... http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?ampstube&1171753535
...and here... http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?ampstube&1171910667 ...is a pair of 40-Watt, mono, unknown-brand 805-based SETs in Virgina for a grand or less.
LOOKs good! 805 tubes are produced currently in China, and, in contrast to the 845, old-production 805s by RCA, etc., are actually affordable. When I owned ASL Explorer 805s (my 1st foray into SET bliss), I accumulated over a dozen US-made old tubes, some as inexpensive as $25.
BTW 40 Watts is SEVEN dB more than 8 Watts; that ought to do it.
